Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy at the University of Oxford and leader of its Energy Programme, spoke to CGTN Europe. He explained that falling costs and rapid deployment are turning solar into a major source of electricity in countries around the world. However, its growing role has not yet translated into lower household bills, which also include network costs, taxes and other charges. He also discussed EU efforts to make electricity more affordable than fossil fuels, China’s central role in clean-energy technologies, and why international cooperation will be essential to achieving global net-zero targets.
